- Wed, 29 Jan 2025 21:25:21 +0000: Materials can 'remember' a sequence of events in an unexpected way - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Many materials store information about what has happened to them in a sort of material memory, like wrinkles on a once crumpled piece of paper. Now, a team of physicists has uncovered how, under specific conditions, some materials seemingly violate underlying mathematics to store memories about the sequence of previous deformations. - Wed, 29 Jan 2025 16:55:00 +0000: Even quantum physics obeys the law of entropy - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a closer look and resolved this apparent contradiction. - Thu, 16 Jan 2025 18:38:02 +0000: Synchronization in neural nets: Mathematical insight into neuron readout drives significant improvements in prediction accuracy - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers applied the mathematical theory of synchronization to clarify how recurrent neural networks (RNNs) generate predictions, revealing a certain map, based on the generalized synchronization, that yields correct target values. They showed that conventional reservoir computing (RC), a type of RNN, can be viewed as a linear approximation, and introduced a 'generalized readout' incorporating further order approximations. Using a chaotic time-series forecasting task, they demonstrated that this approach dramatically enhances both prediction accuracy and robustness. - Thu, 09 Jan 2025 17:56:40 +0000: Pioneering mathematical model could help protect privacy and ensure safer use of AI - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
AI tools are increasingly being used to track and monitor us both online and in-person, yet their effectiveness comes with big risks. Computer scientists have developed a new mathematical model which could help people better understand the risks posed by AI and assist regulators in protecting peoples' privacy. - Tue, 07 Jan 2025 03:17:03 +0000: How do directional connections shape complex dynamics in neuronal networks? - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks.
